Therefore, you must take steps to ensure that others do not gain unauthorized access to your account. In addition, you may not use your account to breach security of another account or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another network or server.
  Your password provides access to your account. It is your responsibility to keep your password secure.
• Sharing your password and account access with unauthorized users is prohibited. You should take care to prevent others from using your account since you will be held responsible for such use.
• Attempting to obtain another user's account password is strictly prohibited, and may result in termination of service.
• You must adopt adequate security measures to prevent or minimize unauthorized use of your account.
• You may not attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for you, logging into or making use of a server or account you are not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security of other networks.

Examples of these tools include, but are not limited to, password guessing programs, cracking tools or network probing tools.

You are prohibited from excessive consumption of resources, including CPU time, memory, and disk space and session time. You may not use resource-intensive programs that negatively impact other customers or the performances of ZONE systems or networks. ZONE reserves the right to terminate or limit such activities.
